Once the darling of the Indian equity market and still most weighted one in Sensex , the investor should be
alert for next 24 months. Most of the contract which is running for the past
one decade or less is up for renewal. It is of very high probability that major
international player may act as spoiler. Many countries came out with law to
hire local resources instead of brining outsourced resources. Even though most
of the Indian IT company opened their development center in most of the
countries but it impacted their margin very dearly.

On the domestic front, most of
the Indian IT company is struggling as the IT upgrade is taking off slowly by
big organization as all are waiting for the economy to get stable. The IT
organizations are fortunate that USA economy is doing well but due to the
upcoming election, most of the companies from USA may park their decision in
order to avoid any unwarranted headline because of outsourcing.

Most of the retail Investor
always gets tempted to invest in Indian IT sector as they feel that stock split
is going to make them rich but the current valuation of each companies are sky
high. Given the revenue and profit growth potential which looks dim in coming
quarter, it is advisable to get out of the IT and park your hard earned money
in other sectors. One must remember that midcap is going to pick up first before large cap get
the pop up
